How do you feel about physical touch? I mean this is the broad sense, not necessarily in a sexual way, but you can answer however you wish.

Personally, I enjoy it a lot, and find it comforting, but only from really specific people. If strangers or people I don't know well want to hug me, it's okay, but I won't seek it out. I think handshakes are weird. Hey, you want to hold hands with a stranger for a short amount of time for some reason?

I am a hugger, while I try to respect others wishes I will opt for a hug any day.

I remember once, as a straight man, I went to a bar and there were a few self identified gay "bears" there. One wanted a hug and im like "sure, as long as you know im straight, come here" and gave him a big hug. The whole group wanted one.. I think it would have been awkward for most straight men, but I thought it was a nice friendly gesture that didnt cross the line. Afterall they were nice enough to ask.
